Fine quality mid 19th century large Chinese bronze vase, c1850. Large and heavy at 2.3kg this is an impressive vase that would grace any home. The design and casting is very good with a large central flower in relief and a butterfly to one side. The body and rim are shaped to look like an opening flower and there are character marks to the base.
Overall condition is good with only very minor surface wear as you would expect from a piece of this age. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me if you would like to view the item or have any questions.
Size: 31cm tall x 19cm deep x 19cm wide, weight 2.3kg. About me: I have been a passionate collector of antiques and collectables for over 30 years. My tastes are diverse and range from fine antique furniture, African, Indian and Asian ethnographic antiques and tribal art, to vintage slot machines - the more unusual and curious the better! I have travelled extensively throughout Africa, Asia, India, North America and much of my collection has been sourced in the Country of origin.
After many years of collecting I decided to start to sell and have established'Curious Antiques' which specialises in a range of fine and more unusual antiques. These include fine furniture, religious items, militaria, amusement machines and one of the Countries best collections of African, Chinese, Eastern and Indian tribal and ethnographic antiques. I value your custom and will do all I can to keep you happy and satisfied.
